New York Fashion Week Diary – Day III

They say there’s no rest for the wicked, and yesterday – despite being Sunday – was no different. I started Day III at New York Fashion Week with a personal styling session – backstage at the Samsung Lounge – hosted by super stylist, J. Logan Horne, and Nicky Hilton, who was celebrating the launch of her style tome, 365 Style. (Click here to see a photo!)

Following that I dashed back to my hotel to change in time for one of my all-time favourite shows, Diane von Furstenberg.

The setting for the show was beautiful with a huge wall of windows opening on to a view of the Hudson River and New Jersey beyond. With the sun blazing through, the walls were brilliant white and the heat was intense – appropriate, given that the collection was inspired by the Côte d’Azur.

Just before the show was due to begin, Diane got down on the floor to scrawl her design ethos across a poster board.

Armed with my All Access Pass I went backstage before the show for a sneak preview of the designs. I spotted some familiar faces doing the same, including VS model Lily Aldridge, GIRLS’ star Alison Williams, and Paris Hilton.

An impressive roll call of models and supermodels, including Naomi Campbell, Candice Swanepoel and Kendall Jenner
